描述
Sulfopyruvate, also known as 2-carboxy-2-oxoethanesulfonic acid or beta-sulfopyruvic acid, belongs to alpha-keto acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the adjacent carbon. Sulfopyruvate is soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Sulfopyruvate can be found in a number of food items such as french plantain, sago palm, sweet cherry, and ostrich fern, which makes sulfopyruvate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Sulfopyruvate exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
